Traveling alone
Before my interrail trip, I had done many short trips alone, a number of international ones semi-alone (on my own but joining a group tour) and many trips with my children as the lone adult. But I had never done a month long trip by myself and I anticipated that there was potential to be…

Staying in hostels
This was the part of my trip that I was not sure about. I had never stayed in a hostel even when I was younger so I didn’t really know what to expect. I am certainly not a ‘youth’ anymore so there was that too. However, as a solo traveler I could imagine that not…

Salzburg Hostel
The thing about hostels is that they’re all different. Obviously I guess! Anyhow, the YoHo Hostel in Salzburg is nice. The rooms are bigger than some and include spacious lockers and a washbasin within the room. Key card entry to all rooms and lockers. Space is helpful when you need to get your stuff out…

Ljubljana hostel – Ibis Styles ‘The Fuzzy Log‘
I chose this hostel as it was 4 minutes from the train station and also 3-4 minutes from the old town. This location worked superbly. I was upgraded on arrival due to overbooking. However I don’t think I mentioned that I was subsequently downgraded. The end of the first full day after my mad mountain…

Salzburg and the opening festival for the festival!

Travelled normally until Villach when it stopped in the station for slightly longer than usual. The boy scouts in my carriage were told something and one said to the other ‘Vite!’ And…

Minka the brilliant Ljubljana guide, castle and caves
I skipped a day – did you miss me? Haha – didn’t think so! It’s been a nice two days. I’m writing this as I wait for Chris to leave for the airport. Another storm is starting – it’s been a funny few days weather wise but we’ve been very lucky actually. Yesterday we visited…

Innsbruck Hostel
I am staying at Meininger Zentrum. It’s not right in the very center but it’s very close – 5 mins on the tram. 10-15 minutes to walk. It has a guest kitchen along with utensils and crockery, a chill out area and seems to attract plenty of families. This is the only hostel I booked…

Innsbruck Day One
Wow it’s been a full week since I left London and I’m having a great time! Today I started at the Tourist Information office with a very patient young woman who answered my myriad of questions without blinking an eye. With her help, I have booked a Promenade Concert for every night this week bar…

Bratislava
Up very early and did not sleep well. A noisy person in the room last night. I guess this is the disadvantage of hostels. It’s the first time it’s happened so far. Had an easy ride into Bratislava. Quick drop of my bag at the Chors hostel and I made the 10am walking tour! 2.5…
